If you’re looking for a horse who’s equal parts charm, challenge, and charisma, Zen might be your perfect match. This spirited gelding is a work in progress, but with the right person, he’s ready to blossom into a remarkable companion.
The Good Stuff:
- A Stunning Mover: Zen has an elegant, eye-catching presence that turns heads wherever he goes.
- Educated Under Saddle: He’s a solid, uncomplicated ride with a great foundation. Very brave or confident under tack and in new environments, etc. Zen's bareback and halter rides have been solid.
- Adorable Personality: Zen’s photogenic charm shines through—he sticks his tongue out on command and is learning to smile. He loves to interact and explore while learning new things.
The Quirks:
- Stress Management: Zen expresses himself with playful nips and head tosses, so patience and kindness are essential. Positive reinforcement has been key in his progress, but he still needs someone who knows when to hold firm and when to back off.
- Groundwork Progress: He can be a bit insecure when working in hand, but daily practice is building his confidence. Very in your pocket, sometimes too much so, but this is improving also.
Additional info:
- Minor Conformation Flaw: One dropped hind fetlock, which hasn’t caused any issues. X-rays available upon request.
- Behavioral Rehab: Zen needs an experienced, patient handler who can continue his training with consistency and care.
The Ideal Home:
Zen will thrive with someone who has a sense of humor, a calm demeanor, and a passion for working with horses who are quirky yet full of potential.
Come meet Zen in Oak Harbor, WA, and don’t forget to bring your sense of humor—and your Zen-like calm!
